Buckling in with pregnant does

[Squeaky McMurdo]

I have been keeping Hercules (born 5/11) in with Cocoa and Lily who are pregnant and due to kid some time in October. Both girls enjoy jousting with him and Lily seems to have really bonded with him since Otto died. So do you think him being in with them will be problematic when they kid or since they adore him will it be fine?

I'm also wondering if there is any inherant risk in breeding close together. I wanted to keep a doeling out of Lily, but the owner of the buck they visited gave me the wrong does' service memos when I picked them up (I know, I should have checked before I left) and has not mailed me the correct ones. This is why I decided to get Herc in the first place. He is from Koolkidz so I would be thrilled to have a doeling out of Lily by him instead, so how soon would it be okay to rebreed her? (Nigerian Dwarves that cycle year round by the way)


I also wanted to ask how much a first freshening indicates what kind of producer a doe will be.
